Great efforts - great triumph! | WordReference Forums Personally I would not reference the effort if the result is satisfactory "Great job!" is sufficient Or if it were a long and arduous task, then: "Great job! It was a long time coming, but worth it in the end " Emphasizing the effort sounds a bit like, "Well you tried " [but failed]
joint or joined - WordReference Forums "undertaken or produced by two or more in conjunction or in common: a joint reply; a joint effort" "joined or associated, as in relation, interest, or action: joint owners" "Joint" is derived from "joined" but they do not necessarily mean the same thing

many efforts or much efforts | WordReference Forums How much effort is it worth? is a normal question If you want to pluralize efforts, many efforts makes sense Much efforts is bizarre in the last three sentences that you quoted The New York Times quote is normal It uses this formula: X is as much Y as Z The nerdcore anthems are as much efforts at comedy as they are attempts at sincere hip-hop
a lot of efforts (has have) been made | WordReference Forums I also find "effort has been made" somewhat odd With "effort" as a mass noun, I'd probably use a different verb If we remove the effects of "a lot of" and "made", I'd say that "effort" (uncountable) and "efforts" (countable) have somewhat different meanings, as mentioned by KeninPDX (quoted in post #5)
